Nokia's enhanced Open Access solution caters to all ISPs

Nokia has enhanced its Altiplano Open Access Solution to include new wholesale functions for infrastructure providers seeking to better monetize their fiber networks. This addition allows the company to provide a perfect-fit wholesale offer to suit any ISP scale and skills.

The Nokia Altiplano Open Access solution, powered by the Nokia Altiplano Access Controller cloud platform, enables a powerful and versatile way to do neutral-host network sharing and offer broadband wholesale services.

Geert Heyninck, General Manager of Broadband Networks at Nokia, "The business case of wholesale and neutral host providers depends greatly on their ability to onboard a variety of ISPs with different needs and expertise levels. Our enhanced Open Access solution caters to all ISPs. It empowers each with the tools and capabilities they need to efficiently manage and scale their network, and to deliver exceptional broadband services to their customers."

The new Network Wholesale Portal will complement existing capabilities that support Fixed Access Network Sharing (FANS) and L2/L3 bitstream services, allowing delivery of enhanced network insights, simplifying service management and streamlining OSS/BSS integration efforts for Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

Broadband wholesalers and neutral hosts can utilize Nokia's Network Wholesale Portal to gain the flexibility to develop service offerings that cater to any size ISP. A transparent controller interface allows the ISP's OSS and support organizations to quickly resolve issues that may come up, while the system and administrative controls remain in the hands of the wholesaler. 

In addition, it reduces the operational costs related to sharing OLT, ONU and outside plant, simplifying interactions to handle service requests or extend the service catalog.
